Important information for your appointment
Appointment Length While many family planning discussions can occur during a standard consultation some topics such as complex preconception planning or multiple health concerns may require a longer appointment. Please let our reception team know if you require extra time when booking.
How to Prepare If you are visiting for preconception advice it is helpful to have a record of your menstrual cycle and any medications you are currently taking. For contraception reviews bringing the name of your current or previous brands will help the doctor provide the most accurate advice.
